(d) After a favorable referendum vote authorizing the sale of bonds as provided in Subsections (b) and (c) of this Section and in anticipation of the sale and issuance of said bonds, the Mayor and Council may borrow money and issue the notes of the City to the extent of the amount of bonds authorized to be sold, less the amount of any bonds theretofore issued under the authority of the same referendum. The said borrowing shall be authorized by a resolution of the Council which shall have the affirmative vote of three-fourths of the members thereof and the approval of the Mayor, and the note or notes thereby authorized shall be signed by the Mayor and Treasurer of the City.
